1t is asserted that Port Angeles Will
move on the next legislature to secure
the county seat Of Glalam county.
from Dungeness; it also appears
likely that the eastern end Of the
county including Dungeness Will
move for annexation to Jefferson, in
the event OF losing the county seat.
Many of the citizens see in the future
a demand for county buildings at
Angeles, which they are not over
anxious to help pay for. Altogether,
the new colony at Angeles seems in a
fair way to create new order of
business all around.
That the president is greatly an
noyed at criticisms of his famous flag
order is evident from the way subor-
dinates at Washington are being dis
charged for the slightest insinuation
dropped derogatory to his majesty,
Grover. The fact is that 2 whole lot
OF smothered profanity is seeking the
slightest pretext to vent itself. The
president is improving every occasion
to remind the American people that
they should respect the Office he
holds, no matter what opinion they
may entertain toward him as an indi.
vidual. But he finds these pesky
American people are awfully apt to
talk great deal with their mouths
especially when they are keeping
up "power O thinkin'."
Our citizens are likely to appreciate
their opportunity of hearing the
great tragedian, Geo. C.sAIiln, this
week. MIR. Min is not g.eat in the
sense that Edwin Booth is great-in
having long career upon which to
base his claim for public favor; but
he is great in the essential Of having
talent of high order for heavy trag-
edy. He was unfavorably criticised
when he forsook the pulpit for the
stage, but that has gradually given
place to genuine admiration for his
native talent, which has been SO re-
markable that he has pushed his way
in a few short years 10 the front
rank. What has required in others
lifetime of preparation and growth,
with hum has been rare gift.
The Puget Sound Chautauqua As
sociation is in session again. Chau-
tauqua is becoming quite an institu-
tion among the literary folks. 1t af-
fords pleasant social diversion for
those who are working away during
the greater part of the year in routine
duty as teachers,ministers and editors.
Though for that matter editors sell
dem have time to attend Chautauqua
or any other diVersion-unless they
are editors of sleepy weeklies; and in
that case it doesn't much matter
whether they attend or stay away.
1t would be better for all literary
workers to take vacations oftener.
BY unbending the bow occasionally,
its elasticity is preserved. Then
again, literary minds are made more
fruitful by coming together and dis
cussiRg questions of common or mu-
tual interest.
The Chehalis Nugget man is aching
already to map out the next race for
the Dslegateship in this Territory
He has thus early bsspoken the dem
ocratie nomination for Delegate Voor
hses-apparently for fear that some-
body else might wsRt it He also
expresses fervent gssire that Gov.
Squire taay be the republican nomi-
= nee. He doubtless figures on keeping
alive labor agitation for political eff
feet, and thinks it will be possible to
revamp the old anti-Chinese issue
and make it do for another time
Whether his darling wish as to Gov
Squire will be realized or not remains
to be seen If Squire should be the
nomiReo it is likely that those who
think they could beat hi:l so easily
may get their hands full. Mr.. Willis
the Nugget scribe, is SO much of a
Voorhees, man that he laws awake
nights trying to map out plans ahead
for successfully advancing the politi-
cal ambition of his idol. He mort
gagged himself indefinitely for that
postoffice. The evident object in a
democratic clamor for Gov. Squire's
nomination by the republicans is not
so much to pick out an easy man to
beat as to revive she labor agitation
in order to give Voorhees, a chance to
work the Knights of Labor racket
that brought him so many votes last
